Default Lew tune

Got the Diablew tune installed last night, what a difference. More power everywhere, neutral/park rev limiter gone, better throttle response...the whole shebang.

Best part is that he was there to help with any problems and he emailed the tune to me less than 2 hours later. Great guy to work with.

I've said this already but thanks again Lew!

06MonteSS: I must have been misinformed or read a post wrong when I did a search on it before. I thought you had to send your ECU or some unit to YOU, in which you did the tune and sent it back.

In that case, can you PM me the parts list so I can get this rolling!

EDIT: I went to the link in your sig and came to the predetor, although it says that 05's cannot use this model.

yeah, you must have read a post wrong... there's no having to send your ecm to me... it's all done via email... they send me a copy of their tune files, I create a custom tune file and send it back, they import it to their predator or trinity then install it to the car... done...

as for 05 support:

Thank a lot! I didn't realize it was so simple.

Kind of embarrassing that the link to the 05 Tune info was right on the main page and I did not see it.

fwiw: last fall I was told that they could make an predator tune work on my '05 so i went out and ponied up the $ for one only for it not to work with my car. I ended up having to sell the tuner as a used unit and lost a good amt of $ doing so....

Hey Lew,

I was reading first post. I haven't driven my car since November. Did the tune you worked up for me turn off the rev limiter when youre in neutral/park?? Guess I'll find out in a few weeks
